to the State in such case, clearly no rem
edy is provided by that section, as 1t only
applies to cases in which no account what
ever has been rendered or settled. 1t fol-
lows, then, that these actions are not
brought under, and are in no manner al
fected, by that section.
1t remains TO be seen whether these
actions are barred by the sections above
quoted AS has been shown, it was the
duty of defendant Melone to render and
settle his account, and pay into the Treas
ury all moneys collected by him and re-
manning on hand at the end of every
month. Whether, then, he rendered such
account OF not, the statute would begin to
run, as to any amount unlawfully retained
by him, from the end of the month in
which it was collected. (San Francisco VS..
Heyneman, II Pac. Rep. S70.)
This being so, these actions are clearly
barred, whether Sections 337, $50 or 343 be
regarded as controlling, as in any event
the longest period prescribed by either OF
these sections had fully run before these
actions were commenced. For these rea-
sons the demurrers will have to be sus-
tanned and an order will be entered in
each Of said cases to that effect. And it
being manifest that in neither case is the
complaint susceptible of being amended so
as to avoid the bar of the statute, let judg-
ment be entered in each case dismissing
the action with costs TO defendant.

How IT Was D1scovEKED.-A Carson
mint employee has discovered that drill
points heated to cherry red and tempered
through being driven into a bar of lead will
bore through the hardest steel or plate
glass without perceptibly blunting.-Er
The above item first appeared in the
Scientific american and is going the rounds
of the press. George Mclaughlin who was
at the time pressman of the mint was the
one who made the discovery, in the follow
ing manner. One day be was tempering a
drill and finding that the point was not
satisfactory threw it in disgust at cold bar
of lead so that the drill stuck in the bar.
He then proceeded to make another, and
afterwards it occurred to him that the cool
ing caused by the lead would be apt to be
more even than by any other process. He
took the drill out and found it so well tenn
pered that he could bore through plate
glass with it.-Cdrs0n Appedl

FARMING RECLAIMED LANDS.
A Farm With a Promising Yield o.
100000 Worth of Wheat.

100000 Worth of Wheat.
Webb Curtis, owner of the Sir John
Lester Kaye ranch, above Knights Land
ing, has given the following account of the
condition of crops on the river to the Yolo
Nal:
:" No, sir, the last rise in the river didn't
fill it within six feet of the bank full. Our
grain is growing beautifully, and we feel
certain of big crops. have 5000 acres in,
equally divided between the Kaye ranch
and the Billiard & Hager ranch. / lease
the latter. The Kaye ranch | bought last
year for $4,000. Out of my entire 5000
acres OF grain / will lose not more than
800 acres by food, and this was caused by
the water coming in on me from the hills
and getting behind my leyees. Even this
small piece / intend to put in again.
No, the ranchers on the river have moi
suffered by foods this year There is ia
cob Frazier-he had his entire 5000 acres
of grain completely under water, but his
crop is coming out splendidly, and he
won't lose more than 400 acres. A. H
Rose saw his 1000 acres flooded, but his
grain seems to have been benefited by it
for it is growing splendidly, and not more
than 800 acres have been drowned out, and
that he will reseed.
The levee break at Browning's, which
flooded these men. is now repaired. 1t was
a break fifteen feet deep and 800 feet long,
District loS is not hurt at all, and we ex-
pect twenty sacks 10 the acre-anywhere
from forty to forty-five bushels.
You never saw cleaner or healthier
looking wheat in your life than that grown
down on the river. In the district there
are not less than $4,000 acres in wheat, and
the break at Browning's on the 14th OF
February did not drown out more than
1,500 acres altogether.
a will spend about $4,000 this fall
building cross-levees and Strengthening the
river embankments ON the Kaye ranch.
Yes, sir, the outlook is splendid. !
don't expect that prices will either rise OF
fall materially, although a European war
would initiate prices at once. From every
indication that | can judge from, Califor-
mia is upon the eve of a term Of great pros
perity."
According to Mr. Curtis estimate, his
5000 acres, averaging 40 bushels to the acre,
will yield $4,000 bushels, or 100000
pounds. 1t will require 100000 bags to
sack the crop, which at cents would cost
nearly $4,000. At the present prices,
81 521 to 81 55 for No. shipping, Mr. Cur
It's crop will bring in something like

A Ne Plus Ultra Rand.

The San Francisco Post of last evening
says:
Fred. Innes, the great trombone player,
has entered into an engagement with the
Directors of the Mechanics Institute which
will give San Francisco the best band in
America. He has undertaken to furnish a
band of sixty-fiye musicians of the highest
class, and to rehearse them and take charge
of them The band is to have one month
rehearsal and be ready for performances by
the time that the Mechanics Fair opens in
August, and it is the intention of the Di-
rectors of the Institute to remodel and dec
crate the interior Of the building and give
regular promenade concerts thereafter in
the same style as given by Gilmore's Band
at Madison Square, New York, Mr.. lines
band, besides being strong in brass, will be
a complete reed band, and this will enable
him to give all the Wagnerian schools OF
composition with the most complete ef-
fects. The programme for the opening con-
cert has already been arranged, and con-
sists of seven classical compositions and q
similar number of high-class popular arias
| besides a trombone solo by Innes. While
! many members of the band will be San
| Franciscans, Mr.. lines goes East in a few
| days to engage such players as he cannoi
secure here. The band will be distinctly
| San Francisco organization, and will play
las such in different parts of the country
when not engaged here and the Institut.
Directors have positively given cart,
| blanche in the matter of expense to secure
| the needed talent.

The observations of tine wife of one of
the present ministers showing that the
life of a cabinet officer is not an altogether
pleasant one are interesting. The glamour
of position scarcely atones for the hard
work and worry Of the actual situation.
Il hardly ever see my husband to talk
with him save at breakfast in the morn
ing and q few minutes before and after
dinner, when he reads his newspapers and
before he goes up stairs to his room, where
a table full of official papers await him.
He sleeps alone, SO as to get all the rest
possible, with u lamp by his side all night,
and when he is waleful he turns up the
light and reads until he becomes drowsy.
Some nights he spends with the president
until very late. Then the salary is not
more than enough to pay the rent of an
establishment suitable for entertainments
such ns the people expect of a cabinet
official. 1t is no use Directing. There
ca int to be government homes for tho
cabinet and their families to live in. Soon
as u'man is appointed he must sit right
down to Office work, and has no time for
hunting n house for his family. = WASH

A Rare Autograph.

Collectors of books and rare articles do
not always care to let it become known
to the general public that they possess
them, for often such things come into
their possession in surreptitious manner
There is q most pointed case to exenplify
this. A collector of books and auto
graphs, John Allen, died, and his execu-
tor sold the collection at auction. The
sale realized many thousand dollars, but
that which particularly interested the
curious was an autograph letter-Gen.
Washington's answer to the address of
the corporation of New York comforting
on him the freedom of the city, May 9,
1875. 1t occupied two folio pages. Two
collectors bid for it, and became so OK
cited that they went beyond all reason,
and II of them, Mr.. Lent, bid 50, 900
for it. 1t was knocked down to him.
He wa appalled, at what he had done
and declined to pay. A lawsuit was the
result. Before it carne to Judgment the
city attorney of New York brought n suit
Of replevin to recover possession of tho
letter on the ground that it formed part
of the city archives. The city recovered
it, showing that it had been extracted
from the archives forty years before.
Some Of the most famous archives have
thus been robbed by collectors, and if a
search were made in the old records of
st. Louis similar thefts would be traced.

RIVAL SCHOOLS OF BURGLARY.

Mako a Treaty of Pence.

n How Among Partisan Eobbers-They
Make IA Treaty of Peace.
Some recent burglaries which were
committed in the suburbs, and the pcrpe-
traitors Of which were arrested, have led
10 the discovery of two bands Of midnight
marau1ors, v5hoss exploits are worthy of
rcconl hE . Sue. Two leading reprcscn-
tatiycs Of Pnri5ian rascaldom, respectively
named Poussiu and DoutOnne, had
founded two rival schools of burglary.
The PoussiniSts broke into an isolated
villa, the ordinary occupant Of which tan
o~flicerJ was absent. Being unable to carry
away all their plumber during the night,
they returned to the charge toward morn
ing, only to find their rivals, the Bouton-
nists, installed in their places. Thereupon
a row ensued among the robbers. The
disused arms which were hung up as
monuments ia the officers museum were
taken down from their pegs, and the COM
hataUtg attacked each other enorCeticallv
with sabers, tho butts of muskets, and old
fashioned arms. such as halberts and bat
tie axes.
Tho sight OF flowing blood. however,
soon dampened the ardor of tho antago-
nistic thieves, and they also feared THAT
the noise Of the struggle would be
heard by the police. A treaty o: peace
was accordingly entered into, and the
whole gang cemented their union ~ a
grand banquet in the villa at the expense,
of course, of its owner, whose larder and
wine cellar were requisitioned to some
purpose. Boutonne, n of the chiefs,
drank six bottles of champagne and one
of cognac, after which, being no doubt
unable to obliSe the company with u
song or a recitation, he amused his com.
pauion5 by turning somersaults over thu
chairs and tables, and doing the CALI
equivalent for a double shuttle on the top
Of an Erard piano,
After this the a~malgamated band
worked with the utmost boldness and
energy in different suburbs of Paris.
They did successful strokes of business i'll
lonely houses, invariably ransacked the
meat and vino departments, and left
grateful notes of acknowledgment on the
dining room tables for the disconsolate
proprietors. In one instance Poussin and
Boutonne congratulated q despoiled house
owner on the excellence of his poultry
and promised to return in order to render
the customary visite de digestion. The
whole of this audacious band, numbering
about twenty-five men, has beer arrested.
